Today's Homeowner looks at dozens of datapoints on pest control companies to come up with our data-driven rankings. It's not possible for a company to pay for preferential treatment in our rankings. We look at the following key factors in determining who should top our list:
The Today's Homeowner team narrowed down the top pest control providers by comparing factors like coverage, industry experience, types of pest control treatments offered, customer satisfaction, and more.
This is how the top pest control companies in Barberton ranked:
Terminix ranks as one of the top four pest control companies worldwide, and it has been helping homeowners and businesses with their pest problems for over 90 years. The company provides state-of-the-art pest control treatments that are safe for your family.
Terminix helps with dozens of pests in Barberton, and it offers a 30-day guarantee. Along with pest control, Terminix offers other services, such as mechanical exclusion, moisture control, home disinfection services, and attic insulation.
Orkin has been in the business for over 100 years. It has excellent consumer reviews and professional exterminators who all complete 160 hours of training.
Orkin handles many common pests, such as spiders, ants, silverfish, and cockroaches. Orkin can arrange regular follow-up visits. Also, if you have recurrent pest problems or any other immediate pest control needs, you can contact Orkin’s customer service.
Rentokil is a well-known name in pest control, with providers across the globe and close to a century of experience in the industry. This large service group is the parent company of several regional pest control providers in North America. These include Presto-X, J.C. Ehrlich, and Western Exterminator.
Rentokil offers integrated pest management (IPM) services, which means your pest control expert will focus on both getting rid of current pests and preventing future infestations. Its treatments are child- and pet-friendly.
Pest control providers vary in credibility, knowledge, and skill. It's important to research businesses to find the right fit for your pest problem. Focus on these key factors when selecting a pest control professional:
Look for a pest control company that has extensive experience treating the type of pest you're dealing with, whether it's roaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, or something else. The company should provide detailed explanations of its area of expertise.
The ideal exterminator will employ technicians that have state licenses and are certified in pest control methods by associations like the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). These credentials demonstrate that the technicians have completed proper training. You'll also want to ask each company about continuing training for their employees.
Spend time perusing online reviews on Google and Yelp before scheduling a pest control appointment. This can help you determine for yourself whether the company consistently provides quality service and positive experiences. Also check the Better Business Bureau for any complaints. Ask the provider whether technicians receive consistent training to stay current on the latest pest control methods. When you select a provider from our list of Barberton's best pest control, you can feel confident knowing that you're hiring an expert that meets our quality and review standards.
If you prefer more eco-friendly and natural pest control solutions, look for companies that have "green" certifications. If you’re dealing with larger pests, such as mice or other rodents coming inside, you can also inquire about humane catch and release. Bear in mind that natural pest control options may be less effective; consider a more traditional route for a more serious infestation. Regardless of what methods you choose, all pesticides (besides those classified as minimal risk) must be registered with the EPA.
Reliable pest control providers typically offer service guarantees for recurring plans. These guarantees mean the provider will return and re-treat your home for free if pests remain after the first treatment. One-time services may not come with reservice guarantees.
Once you have narrowed down your top pest control providers, reach out to each one and ask questions such as:
Take the time to thoroughly review pest control providers using these questions. This will help you choose the most qualified provider to safely and successfully eliminate your pest problem at a fair price.
You should know which pests you might come across in Barberton. For an idea of the most common pests in the city, we reviewed the pests discussed in around 10 million social media posts.
Our top picks for pest control companies are Terminix and Orkin. They're highly regarded in the industry and help get rid of all common pests.
The best way to prevent a pest infestation is having a pest control company come to your house once every two or three months. Regularly spraying your property will stop insects and other wildlife from returning.
For the most part, pest control chemicals are safe. Even so, they have to be handled by a trained exterminator to make sure they’re used safely. After your house has been sprayed, the exterminator will recommend staying away from your home for a certain period of time. This is generally 2 to 4 hours, but can be up to 24 hours.
Many Barberton homeowners wonder about the cost of pest control. Monthly pest control generally costs $40 to $70 a visit. Quarterly pest control costs about $110 to $250 per visit. To determine exactly how much it will cost for you, we recommend getting in touch with several pest control companies for a quote.
If you already have a serious infestation, you should get pest control as soon as possible. However, if you just want preventative pest control, the best time of year to have a professional come spray your home is in the spring before colony numbers get too high when it's warmer. But it’s never too late for pest control. You can still spray in the summer or in other seasons and see effective results.
